Eli's POV-

I woke up the next morning to see Clare packing a suit case full of cloths and make up, she was crying, but not just any cry, it was a painful cry. I stretched and sat up "Clare, what's wrong, what are you doing?" She looked at me with her bright red face and tears rolling down her cheeks. "My mom knows I'm pregnant again and told me to get out!" she sobbed. I got up and walked over to her "Clare, this could be good, you can come live with me, we can live in the cabin!" I said hugging her. She looked up at me as I released and smiled. "Ok…But, you have to pack your stuff" she said whipping away a tear. "Nah, I have a bunch of stuff already there" I smiled. She closed her suit case and sighed with joy "Let's go, I'm ready" she said with a smile. I took her hand and we walked downstairs and down to the car. I gripped the steering wheel and smiled at her "Let's go home" I pulled out of the driveway and we drove a couple minuets to the long driveway that led to our new home. I parked the car under the apple tree by the house and Clare ran out of the car and into the house faster than I have ever seen someone run. I laughed a little and followed her; I pushed the door open and turned on the lights. "Clare? Where did you go?" I said looking around "In here!" she yelled from the kitchen. I walked into the yellow room and saw Clare smile "I love this color" she said running her fingertips on the wall. She ran into the bed room and put her bags down on the floor next to the bamboo dresser. She looked around the blue room then looked out the window by the bed. "Wow, great view" she whispered looking at the pond outside. I smiled and stood behind her wrapping my arms around her stomach "and I have the perfect place to put this little girl" I smiled. Clare turned around and quickly hugged me, she held the back of my neck and gazed into my eyes "what makes you so sure it's a girl?" she laughed. "Well, I just have a feeling" I said taking her hand and leading her to the room next to ours, I walked in and turned around, seeing the look on her face made me happy. "Eli, it's beautiful" she whispered. The walls were a light green with the words love forever written all over them, pictures of ballerinas scattered the walls and a light blue drape covered the window leaving a blue tint in the room. Clare walked up next to me and held my hand. "Eli, I love it" she smiled looking up at me. I kissed her sweetly and looked over at the clock. "Crap! Clare were late for school" I said rushing over to the backpack in the living room, I handed Clare her book bag and we ran out to Morty, I started the car and looked over at Clare, she was still gazing at the house that was now ours. "Glad you like it" I smiled as I rolled down the driveway.

Clare's POV-

I was so happy I gave the house a chance; it was beautiful, seeing the bright rooms made me happy and forget all the downsides to having a baby. Eli and I were finally going to have a family! We pulled up to the school and we rushed to the office. "Mr. Simpson, sorry were late me and Clare were finishing the English assignment and lost track of time" Eli said in a rush, Mr.S looked at me and then at Eli and sighed "you already missed two classes, but don't have It happen again" he said writing late slips for the teacher. I smiled at Eli and grabbed the slip. We ran to our lockers and met up at the water fountain by the gym. "Ready to go to English?" Eli smiled holding out his hand. I took it and we happily walked to class. "Oh Ms. Edwards, Mr. Goldsworthy, nice of you to join us" the teacher said in an irritated tone. I quickly sat down and Eli smirked. "Take out a pen and a piece of paper and write a five sentence paragraph on something you love" Eli looked back at me and smiled; I laughed and looked down at the paper I placed on my desk. I began to write, I wrote about Eli of course, his sweet smile, his constant sarcasm, his silent laugh and his beautiful face. Before I knew it thirty minuets had passed. "Ok class, who would like to share" Mrs. Dawes said loudly standing from her desk. Eli raised his hand and I felt my cheeks get red. "Eli" Mrs. Dawes said motioning him to the front of the class. Eli walked up and looked at me clearing his throught.
"Some thing I love, well, there are many things I love, like ice cream, writing, food, eye liner and yes occasionally unicorns" Every one laughed as Eli ended the first sentence, he even got a laugh out of . "But those things can never compete with what I love most, and she is sitting right over there" he said nodding to me, all eyes turned to me and I sunk in my seat. "Clare Edwards…there is a lot of things I could say about her, she is naïve, nosey, a bit annoying at times, yes…but she is also beautiful, smart, funny, caring and the love of my life" he said walking closer to me, I started to blush. He kneeled down in front of me "and I will never, EVER stop loving her" he smiled. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a box and held it up. My eyes widened as he set his paper down and opened the box "Clare Marie Edwards, will you marry me?" Eli said smiling, I was in shock. My eyes were widened and I couldn't stop smiling "YES! YES ELI!" I said, Eli stood up and I jumped into his arms, everyone starting ooing and awing as Eli swung me around laughing.

Eli's POV-

I couldn't believe she said yes! This was amazing, we are officially going to be a family, she was going to be my wife! My wife! This is all I ever wanted. Clare looked at me and caressed her stomach "Olivia Kianna Goldsworthy" She whispered looking into my eyes, I smiled and hugged her again. The bell rang and walked up to us. "I'm surprised you chose my room to engage to Clare" she smiled, I laughed looking at Clare. We walked out of the room and I herd Ali's heels clicking towards us. "Clare, how are you?" she said hugging Clare" I'm good, pregnant and engaged" she looked at her shocked. "YOUR PREGNANT AGAIN!" she yelled, Clare covered her mouth and glared "SHUT UP!" she whispered angrily "sorry…your pregnant again! And engaged!" she silently squealed, I smiled and nodded my head. "Wow! That's so cute!" she smiled at me and then at Clare "and we live in our own house, my uncle pays for it" I added, Ali jumped "YOU HAVE TO INVITE ME OVER!" she said shaking Clare's arm. I smiled and laughed "Um, do you want to come over Ali?" I asked "I thought you would never ask" she smiled walking off; Clare happily glared and hugged me. "For once, my life feels right" she whispered. "It will be perfect"
